Welcome to the Young Financial Planner Awards 2025
Money Marketing is proud to launch a brand-new awards dedicated to recognising and celebrating the rising stars of financial planning. The Young Financial Planner Awards 2025 (YFPAs) shine a spotlight on those just starting their journey in the profession. Whether you're a graduate trainee, a young administrator, or paraplanner/financial planner, bringing fresh thinking to the industry these awards are your chance to be recognised for your passion, potential and impact. The YFPAs also provide categories for team recognition as well as certain specialisms such as marketing and sustainability and social responsibility.
We are all aware that the financial advice sector is at a crossroads. With so many experienced advisers set to exit the profession over the next few years, and a noticeable lack of young new talent entering, it isn’t clear where the planners and support staff of tomorrow will come from, yet it is vital that they come through.
Financial planning isn’t a job you easily fall into - it takes time to get qualified and gain the experience required to help change clients’ lives. Therefore, it is even more vital that the YFPAs recognise and champion the early careerists in our profession who are making a difference and showing exceptional promise.
